The project is better having people like you in it and I just wanted to recognize the (mostly) unseen work you put in around here.Dr vulpes(Talk) 04:12, 3 October 2025 (UTC) Golan1911 The Barnstar of Diligence Hey great catch on theChildhood obesity article! I read the article that claimed SES had an effect on obesity and you were 100% correct, the article doesn't use it as a variable and only mentions it in the very end as a future direction. Good work and thank you for making Wikipedia a better place!Dr vulpes(Talk) 04:53, 26 August 2024 (UTC) Ykhwong The Original Barnstar I've seen all the acronym articles you've worked on and know they bring real value here. Thank you for everything and for all your hard work.Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 08:07, 22 December 2023 (UTC) Shushugah The Barnstar of Good Humor! I don't know why I was looking up your recent contributions but I'm really glad I did. Your edit summary "McUnion was my first article title idea but that wouldn't fry 🍟" in theMcDonald's and unions article was unexpected and pure gold. Thanks for making me laugh and for showing me that you can add emojis to edit summaries.Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 06:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC) The Barnstar of Good Humor Your joke at theDe Mirage AfD was great 10/10. I always love to see that kind of humor around here. Thanks for keeping this place fun.Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 05:39, 13 May 2023 (UTC) Yuchitown The Original Barnstar Thank you for all the work you did onCrow Village Sam, I was really bummed that I couldn't find resources to save it at AfD but I just saw how much work you and others put into saving it and it made me really happy. Your works is important and I look forward to seeing more of it here.Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 21:46, 5 May 2023 (UTC) Moncrief The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar I wanted to recognize you for how you stepped up and helped contain the slow growing mess that was starting to take shape over at theShooting of Ralph Yarl article.Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 08:55, 18 April 2023 (UTC) Dusteg The Original Barnstar Your articleDust astronomy was a real treat to review. The work you're putting out is great and I hope to see more of you around here.Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 04:55, 17 April 2023 (UTC) Tcr25 The Copyeditor's Barnstar Thank you for all the work you've been putting into theClipperton Island article. I spent a lot of time expanding it and was kind of dreading going back over and copyediting it. You've done some really good work and I appreciate it.Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 23:38, 5 April 2023 (UTC) Partofthemachine Short Description Barnstar I know we didn't see eye to eye with theIndigenous science article a couple months back. But after reviewing your edits I got really interested in theshort description wikiproject. It has been so much fun! Thanks for introducing this to me and for all the work you put into Wikipedia.Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 08:53, 8 October 2022 (UTC) Red-tailed hawk The da Vinci Barnstar Your NCORP table generator is amazing. When I see it come up in AfD I know that real work has gone into that nomination. Just wanted to recognize you and your work that you do here. I look forward to using it in the future!Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 08:49, 8 October 2022 (UTC) Penitentes The Excellent New Editor's Barnstar A new editor on the right path I just reviewed your article onTulainyo Lake and it was GREAT. I learned a lot from it and discovered there are people willing to hike up to places like that with scuba gear. Here I was thinking hiking with ham radio gear was nuts! I have a soft spot for the Sierra backcountry, as a Boy Scout I really enjoyed my time backpacking so these articles always make my day and when they're well written it's even better. I hope you write more articles and if you need help or run into problems please reach out on my talk page.Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 21:12, 26 August 2022 (UTC) Magnolia677 The Copyeditor's Barnstar I am a native English speaker, I'm finishing my PhD, I think I'm smart. I am not. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for pointing out my mistake with State vs state. I want to recognize your professionalism and kindness in the face of my ~2000 edits worth of errors. Wikipedia is better because of people like you and again, thank you.Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 07:07, 21 August 2022 (UTC) Shushugah The Barnstar of Diligence I just wanted to let you know that I've seen all the work you do around here. It has not gone unnoticed. For what it's worth you'll have my support again in your next RfA. Thank you for all you do around here and all the work you put in.Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 08:32, 18 August 2022 (UTC) Rwiggum The Civility Barnstar Uggg my mistake on theKicker (EP) article, I went through all the interviews on Billboard and FINALLY found one that talked about Kicker making it to number 10 on the Billboard Vinyl chart which was all it really needed. The Indie chart that's listed on the bands discography is behind a paywall. Thanks for being chill and responsive, I almost made a really stupid mistake to an important article. You were super cool and professional which I really appreciate. Thanks again!Dr vulpes(💬 •📝) 01:54, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
